There is nothing in the PM schedule for this. Apparently, 800's have fewer cam chain tensioner failures than the 1500.

This might provide you with some info.

Hey I know we're supposed to check our valve clearances periodically but I can't see anything in the service manual or my owners manual about timing chain tensioner adjustment. Do you guys know if that has to be done as well? On my other bikes it's been a simple matter of loosening up the tensioner lock bolt and letting it reset itself with the spring tension inside, and I see what looks to be the same set up on my drifter's cylinders.
